WTB neck knife for beginner

Looking for a neck knife or other reasonable fixed blade no more than $30 -ish. I may just pop over to amazon and pick up a Mora, but I thought I would start here to see if there is anyone ready to part with a used blade. Thanks.

Mora's are a good knife. Keep in mind that the sheath is very cheap plastic sleeve so you'll want to get a proper neck sheath which will probably cost you more than the knife. Have a look at the BK 14,,,i think it comes with a neck sheath,,not sure of the exact price.

The BK14 is available from Amazon for under $37, shipped. Nothing "beginner" about this knife...it would be an excellent choice.

Thanks Bill. I'll give it a look. I want it for general around camp use, but also to process some wood for my junky little DIY woodgas stove.

My vote goes to the BK 14. Mine can be seen here. It comes with enough paracord to wrap the handle, make a lanyard and a necklace for the sheath. I got mine off of amazon for around 38$ with free shipping.

+1 on the Mora. I made a deerhide cover for the plastic Mora cover. I'm attaching a photo. I wear this knife under my shirt every day, whether hiking or working. I only take it off to fly commercially.
